Jess Bramble Perry is a young mother of four. She juggles being a wife, mother, coach and Ironman triathlete everyday. The secret to her success is her whole family working together and supporting one another. Her kids are happy and thriving because they have a mom who is happy and thriving.

The first episode of a new Question and Answer format with Carla McKay (Women for Tri) and Angela Naeth (pro triathlete and I Race Like a Girl founder)...for triathletes of all levels. Or for triathletes just getting started.

"I didn't want the last 3 kilometer to ever end" -- Tessa Kortekass. What poetry! We speak this week with the world champion of the 30-34 women's age group at this year's Ironman World Championships in Kona. The watch word for the day was "control".

Ginny won her 40-44 age group and came in second overall female with a 9:42! She's not an ex-pro, but she did get in to triathlon after a divorce seven years ago and found a means to redefine herself as an independent individual.

We are excited to say we will be at the Ironman World Championships from October 9-15 this year (2018). We will have our studio set up at House Coeur Sports and look forward to interviewing a number of our 2018 champions racing the championships as well as a number of other interesting guest. Get in touch!

Sharon won her age group at Ironman Texas. We've heard about the controversy of the bike split with much refereeing. The short course. Sharon tells us everything she saw and experienced, including her amazing ascent to the top step of the podium!

We're back with Amy Farrell after she won top female at Ironman Santa Rosa 2018. We wish Amy was a coach because we could listen to her talk about preparing for racing, the practice of Ironman, and the mental strength to push through for hours and hours. But you'll get it all in a few short minutes!

Amy Javens spoke to us about her win at IM Santa Rosa 2018 (though she earned her Kona slot at IM Cabo 2017). Two things stand out from this worthwhile interview: 1) the support network, her "village", that makes it all possible. 2) How she trains to those mental moments when stuff just doesn't go well. She calls it "good wolf, bad wolf" and we think you'll take lots of valuable insights back to your own Ironman practice. There's even some hypnotics! :)

We have known Brenda Bettencourt for a number of years. Her tenacity and drive in the sport is inspiring. She is a mentor and guide to many athletes in the sport today. But she talks about having to step back in 2017 to "align [her] actions with her goals" in order to get on the top step. That's great advice for living! We think you'll enjoy this interview.

While all of our interviews are inspiring, we sometimes come across an athlete who, faced with big challenges, rises up to meet and exceed them. That's Phoebe Fear. Winner of her age group at Ironman Western Australia, we find out how Ms. Fear takes on the day in sport, life, and health. A must listen!

Jordan Blanco is well known in the triathlon age group community. She won her age group at the inaugural Ironman Mar del Plata in Argentina. She is a passionate voice for equality in the sport, a tireless worker. We hope you enjoy the episode.
